Marengo Romano Pole Bean (75 days) **sold out**

Sold Out

Germ 4-10 days As with all the Italian rampicante (pole) beans, yields are just overwhelming. Beans are a bright yellow and flattened as you would expect but larger than a typical Romano type. Flavor is an Italian classic. 60 seeds

PLANTING:

Outside- Bush type: 1” deep and 4-6” apart with soil temperatures above 60 degrees and after the last frost. Planting under 60 degrees results in poor germination. Pole type: Plant 1” deep and 3- 4” apart for trellis/pole growth. Drying type: 1” deep and 5-6” apart. Leave beans on the plant until the leaves are falling and pods are dry and withered

Tips- Water well during hot dry period and do not over fertilize which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth. Adding inoculant at planting time aids in a larger harvest and more robust plants. Plant seeds every 2-3 weeks for continual harvest throughout the summer.
